Tutor Responsibilities

Tutors must be willing to

• Commit to tutoring between one and two hours per week for one year.
• Prepare a lesson plan for each tutoring session.
• Hold sessions in a community space approved by the Literacy Council that is convenient for both tutor and student.
• Be punctual. Call students at least 24 hours in advance to cancel and reschedule a session. Request a substitute tutor if you must be away for more than two weeks on business or vacation.
• Complete and submit monthly calendars to report number of hours volunteered, dates, and student’s progress. (Statistics are necessary for continued funding.)
• Keep all information concerning students confidential.
• Address needs, comments, and problems to the Tutor-Student Coordinator.
• Attend yearly Tutor In-Service Training or Tutors Talk.
